The minimum distance of a hole edge from the glass edges
and from other hole edges shall be twice the glass thickness.
If there' more than four holes in any configuration,
the manufai:turer shall be consulted regarding minimum
distances. If ahole is drilled in the corner-of a pane so that a .
hole edge is 'less than 35 mm from the glass edge. the cor
responding distance from the other edge shall be at least
5 mm greater.
